For those guys who arleady bought the extended battery.

Does your phone still fits standard silicone gel cover after swaping the battery with a new thicker cover. Do I need order any other cover designed for Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus?

Thanks for reply!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
It fits the generic S-Line TPU case (marketed under many different names) I have without any problems. Honestly, it hardly adds much thickness to the overall device so I doubt it will cause a problem.

Regards.

Recalibrating the battery.

One more thing. Do I REALLY need to recalibrate the battery stats after the change on 2000mah one? There are diffrent opinions on the forum.

I should have stressed the word DECENT in my original post because OP's pictures really dont do much for me. It would be nice to have some DECENT or BETTER pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I never got a clear answer. I am going to say I think you do. The chip doesnt read the milliamps, so we have to use the voltage which is still going to be the same, it just has more milliamps in that basket of ~600mv.

I'm getting amazing battery life with this battery. First time I don't have to worry about being around a charger later in the day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] republitarian:
That's wild I must have ordered one of the last pre orders for January, 12 hours ago. Lucky me :) just got an email saying it is being shipped out today!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Just wanted to let you guys know,

I ordered from shimshop on USA eBay 1/3/12, he wrote saying estimate ship date would be 1/12/12, but then he was able to get some more and ship mine 1/6/12.

Guy is pretty good at sending out emails. + Feedback will be given.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Could you take a side photo so we could see how much bulk is added on. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Never mind I seen it on YouTube. The extended battery is hardly noticeable. If you don't own a GN then you wouldn't even notice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Dont have a nexus yet but wow. I feel with this extended battery I'd finally get to use a phone that still looks super slick and lasts a full day with heavy use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
so I'm guessing the battery is tiny bit thicker? Anyway to still but stock cover on and not make it have the little thickness too it.

For my sensation although the extended battery was tiny bit thicker I used oem back cover still.

Cant be done here?

It's very clear.

You wont notice it and it feels nicer to grab, trust me.

I own one and it is now still in the second charge cycle.

Last battery stats:

1d 6h on battery

2h 8m screen time

with 51% battery left :)

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!

My previous record with standard battery:

2d 3h on battery

3h 45m screen time

with 4% battery left

I am trying to beat that (with at least the same screen time of course).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
Thats on my stock battery,

Cant wait to see how the extended battery goes.

It just came in the mail today :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcguinness89:
wtf rom are you using lol..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
you order from gmarket or shimshop???

i orderd from shimshop on the 28th and STILL haven't received anything in the mail!!! ahhH!HH!H!H!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
put my order in, hopefully get lucky and it will be sent before valentines day...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Sorry, but 2-3 hours of screen-on time isn't using your phone very much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
All stocks, stock rom, stock kernel, not rooted, 4.0.1, yakju.

But, i turned off all kind of sync, because i dont need them.

If i want to read email, i will open gmail app and hit refresh.

I turned off social app notification, because i dont want to bebothered with status updates and such.

And of course, low brightness at ten percent woth kind of black wallpaper.

Continued stats:

1d 20h 48m on battery

2h 38m screen on time

Still 33% left!!

Thats include 21 minutes of using gps navigation with the Sygic app.

Oh btw, my idle drain overnight was very good, 3% drain for seven hours! :)

That is one percent every two hours ;)

---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 AM ----------

Dont you see that still has 51% left? Relax, it was still day one.

On my prev standard battery, usually i will use almost 4 hours screen time before going to charge.

So i expect i will use about the same, if not more because the additional 250mAH with the extended battery.

I will be happy to have five hours screen time for two days stand by :)

Just bought the 2100 mah oem extended battery for 33 bucks on ebay. I think that's actually a good price
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmmts:
I hope you're not using the Verizon version of the phone... This thread is about the GSM 2000mah battery.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

Do you guys really think you are getting much better battery life? I'm tempted to order the battery, but it isn't exactly cheap and is only 14% more capacity. That really shouldn't make a big difference. But if you honestly feel it makes a difference and isn't just the placebo effect, I might have to order the battery...

Currently I get about 3,5h of screen on time on a full charge and I have to say that is a bit disappointing. Too bad there isn't a 2100mah oem option available for the gsm version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
I consider 2-3 hours of actual usage in ONE day a lot for an average person.

What the hell are you doing on your phone that you would be on it for more than 1/3 of your waking time on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:

Got lucky, my one was sent out yesterday! Extracted the following from the email;

"Many thanks for your great patience & understanding about the pre-order item.

We received just some pieces from Samsung today.

Especially we decided that we send the 1x bundle of them only for you.

We are going to prepare to ship the pacakge to you quickly."

Looking forward to its arrival!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
More than 1/3 of his waking time? Uhhhh, damn dude, you sleep a lot. I typically get about 5-6 hours of sleep a night, depending. If 2 hours is 1/3 of your day, you sleep as much as the average house cat. I'm jealous. What do you do that allows you to sleep 15-18 hours a day?

Guys I think the extended battery worth every bucks. I have been using the new battery for 2 weeks. I have my company and gmail push email on 24/7. Also sync with my 2 other email account every hour. Screen brightness is switched between auto and 50%. Also about 20mins of mp3 and 1-2 hrs internet or news.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
So I got mine last night. Phone is a bit heavier, but definitely feels more solid. Feels better in the hand and you can lay the phone on its back without the camera touching a surface.

Question though regarding the tabs on the battery cover.....

Are you guys have a bit harder of a time getting the bottom right tab (if you're looking at the back of the phone) clicked in? I'm thinking its because of the bigger battery but I noticed the tab doesn't look the same as the left side.

If your looking at it directly from the bottom of the cover (flat) you notice its kinda of an "L" shape as opposed to the other side which is straight.

Takes a bit of fidgiting to get the cover on and off.

I hope I'm explaining this as clear as possible. I'd take a pic but its pretty tough without it being blurry.

Do you guys have the same thing going on? Or am I just not putting it on correctly? I have no problem with the stock cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Shimshop on eBay is the best bet...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Same is true of the original back cover, I think its meant to be put on bottom right first...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
Thanks for the confirm caspa. I thought I got a defective cover.

What would be the correct way to take the cover off?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Once you release it from the top it tends to do its own thing where the bottom right is the last bit that comes off. I thought I was going to break it first few times I put it on, snap the clips like I've done with similar stuff before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:

Ordered one last weekend from shimshop, says it shipped out on Monday. Will update when I get it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Same here. Didn't get a tracking code yet.

They were pretty fast at giving eBay feedback on your profile though. That's what I like to see :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Been hoping it would be any day now, but only on 7 days so probably next week for me. Wanted to give it a bash over the weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] versd:
got mine in 10 days from hakim1107 off ebay.

international shipping to new zealand as well....

back cover is tricky to fit on the bottom right but once you get it all in place its fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CC13:
Ordered mine on 1/15/12 from Shimshop. I received an e-mail the next day that it shipped, no tracking number though? I looked at hakim1107, but they had a lot of negative feedback regarding shipping.........I will update when mine arrives. I live in Alberta Canada

Cheers :o)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] philipdeane:
Based on the general positive vibe of this thread (that's a rare thing right there ;)), just ordered myself one too. Waiting patiently...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Mine arrived today, feels good in the hand. Why didn't Samsung do this from the off?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
sweet mate, hopefully mine will be here soon then... I already know I'm gonna be happy...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Nice! I ordered one a couple days ago. They said it shipped so I suppose it'll be here in a week or two.

Do you notice any difference positively or negatively of how the phone feels in the hand from the form factor and weight difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MalindaD:
I ordered one from shimshop and it arrived today morning. The extended cover only adds very minimum bulk to the phone. I have added comparison pictures for your ease. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] th1rt33nth_w4rr10r:
Ordered this last week from shimshop, still waiting for arrival.. while at it, anybody can recommend a good case with this extended battery? will the LTE cases work? Thought about buying an Otterbox Defender, but when I asked Otterbox they said their case is designed for the LTE variant of Galaxy Nexus.. but that was before I considered buying this extended battery.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsntrenkler:
How is the quality of the back door? Does it feel like the stock cover?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stephen289:
Took the plunge and ordered one, even though I find battery usage on the standard battery quite fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MalindaD:
The quality is same as the standard cover. Its an OEM product. In my perspective i think when you hold the phone it feel bit comfortable than the standard cover.

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 AM ----------

As the bulk it adds is very minimal, I think a cover/case that can hold the standard one will hold this as well. In your situation I think it will fit. But better check twice before you buy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harrishanifa:
Have any of you guys tried using the old battery (1750mah) with the extended cover? I'm wondering if the battery still stays in tact when the phone shakes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
I've not but the battery is relatively secure when you put it in (stock and extended). I wouldn't wanna try it personally, though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MalindaD:
I have used my standard battery with the extended cover for several hours and it stayed without a problem in normal situations. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
How much of a gap is there between the cover and the stock battery (roughly as you obviously can't see)?

Now I've got my extended battery in use my stock one is back in the box
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MalindaD:
Its about 0.5-1.0mm roughly.

It will not give any problem in a shake if you are using the standard battery with the extended cover as this gap is minimal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Good to know, but I'll just stick to using the extended battery! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
I can confirm that the Extended battery from shimshop is legit and contains NFC. I just used it with Google Wallet to pay for my cab in NYC this morning!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Good to know, not used NFC so wasn't sure

Mine finally arrived :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Curr:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
Been using this for over 2 weeks now (fully calibrated) and it has to be said, I now have the best battery life I have ever had on any device (android smartphone). Easily surpass 4 hours screen time (heavy use) and with light use the battery could last days. Doesn't add much bulk and my old TPU case still fits without a problem.

I ordered from Shimshop.

Definitely heavier, now feels like I'm holding a phone and not a toy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:

I have it fitted now and with a bit of tweaking it is ok but very sensitive to touch.

For example, sometimes when I pick the phone up it takes a screenshot or moves the volume level up to the max. Annoying. I think I will choose the extended battery and have to sacrifice my case mate.

Case mate pop case fits well with the extended battery. You might want to wait for their case revisions to release before buying them though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Barcajuve:
Ordered mine from Jan/16 and received it on Jan/26. My location is Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I guess it could have arrived earlier if not for the Lunar New Year holidays in Malaysia.

The 2000mAh battery is quite thick in comparison with the standard 1750mAh battery. The difference is only 250mAh. Makes me wonder why is it so much fatter.

With the extended battery cover and 2000mAh battery, the phone is thicker and heavier as others have quoted. But these are no bad things. It is easier to grip and the extra weight makes the phone feel more sturdy.

I love ICS on Nexus S, but:

1. Shouldn't the background on the caller id be transparent? When

I'm receiving a call, black box covers the lower half of the screen...

2. Nexus S has physical search button, so shouldn't the "programmatic" search buttons in the interface be hidden? (from the programmers point of view this is super easy - if(Device.HAS_PHYSICAL_SEARCH_BUTTON) this.visible = false; )

Or maybe these are Nexus S specific bugs?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloomfield9000:
1. It isn't, but it would be nice wouldn't it?

2. I think the idea is that no phones post-gnex are going to have that button, so why bother adding code to hide the graphical search buttons on the handful of ICS devices that do? It keeps everything nice and uniform looking, too. I've yet to be bothered by the graphical search buttons.
